Pak will invite India for exclusive dialogue on Kashmir: Aziz

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan would invite India for an exclusive dialogue on Jammu Kashmir, despite the stalled Composite Dialogue process between the two countries. Advisor to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz informed on Friday.

“The foreign secretary will formally write a letter to his counterpart soon to discuss the issue of Jammu Kashmir,” Aziz said here at a press conference. He also said that Pakistan wanted to discuss the Kashmir issue on priority in view of the ongoing unrest in the Indian-held Kashmir due to indigenous movement of self-determination.

He also said that the recently held Envoys Conference in Islamabad also noted that India’s policy of not engaging in a comprehensive dialogue with Pakistan was not conducive for peace in South Asia. He mentioned that the conference spent considerable time on the grim situation in the region and Indian brutality after July 8.

The conference condemned the atrocities being committed by the Indian forces on unarmed and innocent Kashmiris, he said. He added that it was decided that Pakistan would continue to extend full diplomatic, political and moral support to the Kashmiris movement for self-determination.
